Maybe it’s my childhood growing up on a farm, or my general love of animals, but I have always been a huge fan of Sharon Montrose’s photography. Not only that, is there any baby out there who isn’t memserized by the animal kingdom. That’s why her prints make a sweet, stunning yet peaceful statement in any nursery.

Sharon Montrose’s prints meld her passion for photography and love of animals. The animals used in each photoshoot are real, live animals many of which are raised and oftentimes rescued by well-trained animal handlers. The welfare and care of the animals is insured in every shoot–some which took place in-studio and others which took place in the animal’s home and were then photoshopped on to the background. And any animal lover can appreciate that a portion of the proceeds from this series also go to support several organizations that rescue and nurture wildlife.

It’s so hard for me to pick a favorite animal from Sharon’s collection–the sweet, doe-eyed lamb. The stoic flamingo, curious bear or silkie chicken. Gah. I love them all. And I can only imagine how my daughter would squeal with delight to have a few of these hanging in her nursery.

I am so excited to share with all of you that Sharon Montrose is giving away prints from her shop to one lucky MOMformation reader. The winner will have their choice of 3 small prints or one large 17×22 limited edition print in an animal of their choice! To be entered simply leave comment on this post and if you’re decisive enough, let us know which animal print you’d choose from her shop! Comments will close on Wednesday February 29th. Winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Thursday March 1st! Good luck!

I love animals to decorate with in the kids’ rooms…M is particularly partial to them too, his favorite books are about animals…I would say his favorite would be the lion cubs or the ducks. I love the monkey though!

Baby goat, chicken and piglet. I’m a farm girl all the way These are GREAT prints!!

Our favorite is the bear cub! It evokes memories of our honeymoon in Indonesia, where we got to hold a honey bear (sun bear). When we offered it shredded coconut, it climbed right into my husbands lap, like a big tame Rotweiler! Unforgetable!

I really love the lamb but I am partial to it because we’ve decorated our baby’s room in lambs. We’re naming our baby Rachel which means sheep/ewe. We started with the idea of baby animals in general until we chose her name so I love all these prints! SO CUTE!

So cute, I love her animals! I think I would go for the giraffe, maybe a set of three? Although No 4 is my favorite, I might just need to get one large one of him.
